Got fired today but was able to rescue this baby Oriol on my commute back home.

Yeah, I have the Chicago Bird Collision Monitors programmed on my phone as I did the same for a Red Breasted Merganser this winter.

What a good thing you did. I believe in Karma. You will be rewarded for your act of kindness. Wait and see.

I volunteered with Chicago Bird Collision Monitors for a while. Very cool group! They take the birds out to Willowbrook wildlife hospital, run by the DuPage County Forest Preserve.

I think the bird looks like a mad professor lol

Very cool of you to take the time to rescue a bird. I have used the Bird Collision folks as well. They are great when a volunteer is available for pick-up. If you have an animal overnight and can drop off yourself on Northerly Island, Flint Creek Wildlife is another option: http://www.flintcreekwildlife.org/. Good people.
